Ingredients for approx. 30 cookies
Inspired by dessertlovernote.com
250g flour
200g butter
100g sugar
1 egg yolk
Raspberry jam

Dictections
Pre-heat the oven to 175°C (oven set to air circulation).

Combine all ingredients except for the raspberry jam in a bowl and mix together.

Spread the dough with a rolling pin. Make sure you spread a little flour underneath so the dough does not stick. Use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out the hearts. Put a little raspberry jam on to the dough-hearts, then top with another heart slice (so you need as many  heart “bottoms” as “tops”).

Press the sides softly with a fork and shape a little cross-stitch with the tip of a sharp knife in the middle.

Note on the side:
If your baking skills are not that good or you’re in a hurry, just buy a pie crust!
